Kate was delightful to work with.

From the moment I first set foot in the apartment, Kate was friendly, professional and forthcoming with details pertaining to the building, the previous owners and the area.

Any questions Kate was not able to answer she researched and came back to me about.

Kate was also very thorough when I attended the final inspection with my parents.

I felt that Kate wanted to make sure I was happy with my purchase and did not put any pressure on me to commit to a purchase before I was ready, providing me with details on how and when to contact body corporate for further details.

I wish I could buy a flat every day, just so I could work with the great Kate again.

We put our full trust in Kate and she really did deliver.Friendly,professional and easy to get along with.

I can highly recommend dealing with Kate. She was incredibly friendly and professional throughout the buying process - and very patient with a first time buyer. Some real estate agents give the industry a bad name - Kate clearly doesn’t fall into that category, and restores your faith in the industry.

We were very impressed with Kates professional approach but at the same time she puts you at ease with her calm and friendly manner.  She was extremely responsive to our questions and we would highly recommend her to take care of your real estate needs.

Kate was a lovely agent to deal with as a buyer. From the first open home she maintained a friendly contact without being pushy. She was very professional in all her dealings and went the extra mile to make sure things proceeded smoothly.

If you are looking to sell your property, I can highly recommend Kate Yates from Luton.  Kate recently sold my property following one home open that generated several offers.  I am extremely happy with the outcome.  The overall experience from first talking to Kate, right through to settlement has been outstanding.  I am an interstate seller and Kate has gone above and beyond and nothing has been any trouble.  Kate provided a detailed strategy for the sale that covered all components and considerations and has assisted with all the questions I had had.  Kate provided a realistic expectation for sale price and really knows the market and conditions very well and as mentioned, achieved the outcome I was looking for, very quickly.  Thank you, Kate, it's been an amazingly positive experience.

Kate is very familiar with market trends and what buyers are seeking. She kept us constantly updated on open house reactions and offered advice that only comes with deep experience and hard-earned expertise. I would recommend Kate as a terrific seller's companion.

Kate is positive, dynamic, engaged and fully committed throughout the selling process. She is also very personable and just fabulous to deal with. I am extremely grateful to her for selling my property. I highly recommend her as an agent .

It’s because of these wonderful traits she has, that she gets these great results. 
She is a high achiever so either you’re selling or buying, Kate should be your number one choice.
I could not recommend Kate highly enough!

Outstanding, Kate was able to work with us and her colleague Shane brilliantly despite the challenge of being unable to meet in person due to COVID. She was honest, follwed up and made us comfortable in each step of the buy process. Made the whole process extremely comforting to have someone approachable and worked hard for us, even as only the buyer to ensure both us and the seller got the nest outcome. Would highly recommend Kate and her team.

Kate sold our investment property in Kingston for an amazing price that we had not anticipated. We can't recommend her highly enough. The process was incredibly smooth and we always felt that we were in safe and incredibly capable hands.

Kate is a fabulous agent, and I would highly recommend her. We have dealt with Kate across a number of properties. We've also dealt with many agents over our property portfolio. Kate is the best agent by far. She is professional, and carries out the role with high integrity. She recently took on a listing that we had not been able to move for a range of reasons. On the first open, Kate sold the property with both a happy seller and buyer. She is transparent in her dealings and transactions, which demonstrates her high integrity. For Canberra, I would not choose another agent.

Kate was referred to us by our managing agent to sell our unit. We were so impressed from the beginning, Kate was prompt, attentive and committed to our sale with regular calls and updates. We went through some challenges with Covid but with Kates expertise we felt confident navigating uncertainties. When it came time to sell Kate was very knowledgeable and ensured we were getting the best deal possible. I would happily refer Kate to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Kate's knowledge of the market forces was excellent. She was fastidious  in all communications and we were always in a position of control. She has a friendly and professional manner and a cheerful personality, endearing herself to that potential buyer. Kate has sold two properties for us achieving the best possible result. She perseveres and gets results.

Kate is a pleasure to work with.  She was engaging, warm and honest with her dealings with us.  This made us feel comfortable and confident in our transactions.  Kate goes that extra mile and is always happy to assist in even the smallest details.  We fully recommend Kate and we are very happy with the result she got us.  Darren and Cherie
